Safe Crossing

Bus drivers will teach safe crossing procedures to students who must cross the street.

Parents/Guardians should reinforce the following:

  1. Students are to walk ten (10) feet in front of the bus so they can see the bus driver.
    "I see you, you see me."
  2. Bus driver will motion by hand movement when it is clear to cross.
  3. Student is not to move until the driver indicates they may do so.
  4. Student then walks across the street, looking in both directions, making sure there are no vehicles and all is clear to cross.

Parents who meet their child at the bus stop are requested to meet them on the side of the road they are released on. If children have to cross, parents are requested to cross with them using the safe crossing procedures.
